New kid on the block?
Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals who specialise in clinical exercise prescription. We don’t diagnose – that’s the role of your GP or physiotherapist, but once a diagnosis is made we step in to design and deliver targeted exercise programs to help you rebuild function, manage health conditions and prevent further issues.
While physiotherapists often guide your acute recovery and provide hands-on treatment, EPs focus on long-term rehabilitation and capacity building through safe, progressive movement. We’re different professions but we work side by side—with the shared goal of helping you get back to what matters.
